Boarding, Built Around Your Dog
Boarding should feel like an extension of the care your dog already knows.
With only a few dogs staying at a time, there is room to learn their routines, notice how they like to spend their time, and adjust the day as needed. Some dogs want to be part of everything. Others prefer more space, quieter time, or a slower pace.
Dog Boarding in Olympia, With Care That Changes With the Dog
Throughout the stay, I can make decisions based on what I see from the dog in front of me, including who they spend time with, when they need space, and which activities they seem to enjoy most.
What Your Dog’s Stay Can Include
ENRICHMENT & ACTIVITY
Depending on what your dog enjoys, their day may include food based enrichment, play, time outside, sniffing, cuddling on the couch, or simply hanging out together.
CHOICE & DOWNTIME
Dogs have room to decide when they want to join in and when they would rather take a break. They might spend time with another dog, hang out with me, find a comfortable spot nearby, or take some space when they want it.
REST & DECOMPRESSION
Rest is part of the day too. Dogs have plenty of time to sleep, relax, and recharge between whatever else the day brings.
Is This Boarding Environment Right for Your Dog?
Because dogs stay in my home alongside a very small number of other dogs, I want to make sure the setup works well for everyone involved. Before a first stay, we'll talk through your dog's routines, behavior, comfort around other dogs, and anything else that may affect their time here.
A GOOD FIT MAY LOOK LIKE
• Comfortable spending time away from their person
• Able to relax and sleep in a home based setting
• Enjoys outdoor time, enrichment, and everyday companionship
• Can comfortably follow the routines and management needed during their stay
• Does well with the quieter pace and small scale nature of this type of boarding
ANOTHER CARE OPTION MAY BE A BETTER FIT
• Dogs who are not reliably house trained or who experience incontinence
• Dogs who experience significant distress or unsafe behavior when left without a person for a few hours
• Dogs whose behavior requires a level of management I cannot safely provide during their stay
• Dogs who require medical care or supervision beyond what I am able to accommodate
Before Your Dog’s Stay
